*All hotels are within a few minutes drive to the Palasades Mall. Anyone considering a hotel room should do so asap due to this being a high volume weekend for the area hotels and get filled up very fast The Hampton inn and garden inn are already sold out.

Oh definitely. My list turned out to be pretty horrible. Too slow. No shooty enough. Troops weren't resilient enough. Target priority was easy for my opponents. List developments was too back weighted. I had trouble with death stars. Trouble with ICs. Trouble with MCs. Hell I had trouble pushing cultists and eldar defenders on objectives with hth.

That said, the game has changed a lot since Adepticon. At Adepticon, cover and fliers were king and hell drakes were just begining to change people's list away from cover.

Now that list have been introduced that punk fliers and cover (and can ally with everyone), you are seeing that the meta is resilience without cover. Things with High toughness, strong invulnerable saves and re rolls which were considered to expensive in the past are justifiable now.

Hopefully Orks and Nids (maybe even sisters) can tar pit units like that cheaply so that everyone has to start taking balanced lists again, but we'll have to see what they do with those codexes. I really hope Nids is not just another monster mash army...
